I'm thinking of adding some lights , what do you guys think?




They are just sitting there now , I haven't installed yet

 

No.

 

Hmm... how will it be installed?
Are you going to have to drill holes in the roof?

I would much prefer if the light-assembly be mounted on (sat the roof rail) hard-points, if possible.

Or, to a roofrack crossbar instead..

IF, no holes are needed to be drilled and you have another way of mounting them, then I kinda dig it.

 

No holes , attaches with 3M tape and i would run wires down threw a door , ( its a lease nothing going on I cant remove) . i have been looking at the pics on and off tonight trying to decide . I know some wont like it some will . Thanks for all input.

Hell..
I was worried about the drilling holes for wires and/or mount studs, But since you're just doublesidetaping > Slap it on!

 

I'm also thinking about lifting it , I've found lots of lowering threads but has anybody gone up with an OS? Just an inch or two

 

It's up to you, it seems like you want to do it so just go ahead. I don't feel there's a need to say what I feel about it, I'll just say I wouldn't do it personally.

 

Funny..
Kind of reminds me of this chap over at the "other" japanese forum >
(He did it to his Joker, impressive nonetheless.)









Noticed anything in the photo?

 

Ok that just doesnt look right , looks like a bad case of tire rub during any flex and turning .
Im not doing a lift or putting on the lights , just wasnt happy with the look .






yep saw him

 

You HAVE NO idea of the Hell and Headache that poor guy went through to get those monster tires to "work" on that CUV...

I wouldn't want to wish the grief on worse enemy... (well, perhaps just a few.) But still it was a total disaster for him to get it to work.

Looks good... However, it was a LOT of cutting and was totally UNsafe to drive on the roadways or Offroad.

 

holly geeze... what is the clearance/turning radios on those front monsters? That's nuts, looks tough, kind of like the Suzuki V-cross from the side

 

Ratios?
Not sure exactly..

But, the guy's Custom Shop had to cut so much of the inner fender/liner to get those wheels just to be able to turn (it wasn't worth it in my mind.)

FRONT (driver side):




REAR (same on both sides):



What was Worse was the shop that did his suspension "adjustments" to make the wheels fit into the wheel-wells. They did a horrendous and extremely dangerous job of hacking his front struts and rear springs, that I couldn't even begin to describe..

It kind of made me tear up a bit...
This is his original documented site >
2012 JUKE SV AWD (The Journey To A 3" Suspension Lift

This is what that shop did to his suspension >

FRONT (strut "extension"???):


(Close up View)




REAR:






I have to say though, this guy was still quite positive (outlook) even after what this Lame shop did to his ride..

 

Wow thats a scary lift and he hacked so much of the inner fenders up , should have just removed them .
I'm an old Jeep guy and have done a few lifts , had one done for me (big mistake) ended up redoing the hole thing myself. For the OS I was thinking just a 1" spacer under the coils similar to a pick up leveling kit .
I wont do anything until I see how the OS performs on the sand in September , just kind of thinking out loud

 

oh wow that rear spring is some scary stuff! No way is that worth it at all! and he deff. needs to get a shield for that intake filter or it is going to be so saturated in water and dirt
